I was a little apprehensive to read this book after loving Wolfsong so much there was only one way that this could go - and that would be down... and I'm sorry to say - I was wrong!!! If Wolfsong was 5 stars then that would need to make this 5.5 stars as the impossible happened and I loved it more.

I wasn't sure how it would work being back in Green Creek but not seeing it through Ox's eyes, but what a brilliant device this turned out to be as it give you a chance to focus on the brilliant, complex, soul that is Gordo, but also provided alternative insights into the relationships within Pack.

The worst part about this book was that it had to end - love it!

Look, what can I say? I absolutely love this series, the writing style is awesome, I love all the characters, I want to become a werewolf and marry...or mate(?)..into this family!
This one was painful again!!!
Gordo is one of my favourites, and the scenes with young, teenage Gordo from the past with the boys from the car repair shop...they’re just hilarious together!
For me in some scenes it was a bit...too much and forced funny? The other thing I didn’t like in this book was that sex scene, but that’s only my taste, so.
The first book focused a lot more on the romance aspect, but the story in this one was super gripping again and I can’t wait for book three!

the angst of Klune is evident. No idea where this story is going to go but i'm here for the ride. The first book is better, in my opinion, but the politics turned sour.

I’m not much of a fantasy reader, but T.J. Klune suddenly made me long for shifter books and other fantasy stories. When I first started reading Wolfsong, I got hooked on the story. I adored the book!

Then I found an email in my inbox from Pan Macmillan with a widget for Ravensong, and I couldn’t be happier. Another fantastic cover, and Gordon and Mark’s story is such a wonderful love story! It brought a smile to my face so many times. Be aware, though, that T.J. Klune has the talent to break your heart into a million pieces but mends it together beautifully with all those heartwarming moments.

Highly, highly, highly recommended!

I think I liked this second book even more than the first one because Gordo’s voice spoke to me more than Ox’s did.
I loved getting to see Mark and Gordo navigating their feelings as kids, I was so glad to read Gordo’s perspective on what happened when the wolves were on the road in the first book, but most of all, I adored the banter and the bickering. I can’t even count the number of times this book made me laugh. Group dynamics like this one is my favorite thing ever to read about and I was worried there would less of that in the second book, but this felt like seeing a group of friends I had dearly missed. I really liked that the story was more than just Gordo and Mark’s story.

If the book made me laugh, it also thoroughly broke my heart several times, but I’ll forgive it because the angst was beautifully done. I would die for these characters.

I will say that I read that second book right after the first one, and the writing style felt a bit repetitive sometimes, so I did not read the third one right away, thinking that it would tire me a little bit, but diving back into the part I highlighted to write this review made me want to get back into this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for inviting me to read Ravensong.

TJ Klune is one of my favourite authors, and Green Creek is my favourite of the series he’s written. I was really touched to be invited to read and review Ravensong after reviewing Wolfsong.
I really enjoy supernatural storylines and this series is made even better because not only does it include magic and ace spec representation, but it also contains disability representation (limb difference).

The story is engaging and exciting and the characters are extremely likeable and easy to root for. Gordo and Mark are some of the oldest characters in the series and I really enjoyed reading their story and the ups and downs that led them to where they are right now.

I would really recommend this series, although be aware that this series contains mature themes, death, grief, violence, gore and references to past child torture.
